Bill O'Reilly here.

You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater.

Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, December 18th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America.

Presidential address, Bongino leaving, Chaplain Corps reform, and some new plaques. It's all coming up.

States, which means jobs, wage increases, growth, factories opening, and far greater national

security. You also said next year, you'll also see the results of the largest tax cuts in

American history. The White House also supplied charts to the networks. None of the networks

put them up. Only Fox News decided to show

anyone the charts. The president also announced that service members are getting a $1,776

bonus check. Checks are in the mail. Dan Bongino is leaving his position as the deputy

director of the FBI. He said, I will be leaving my position with the FBI in January.
